    This soup is a game-changer! So easy to make and the flavor is incredible. My family devoured it!

    I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with both chicken breast and shredded rotisserie chicken, and it's always a hit!

  • Stuart Berniervandervort

    I was skeptical about the cream of mushroom soup, but it added the perfect creaminess. I added a can of black beans for extra heartiness.
